Saw a #FlyingFox with wings stretched between two power lines. Got closer to get an ID photo just for record when I noticed movement: a baby #bat was still clinging to its mother. Waiting for wildlife rescue now.

Isn’t That A Balloon? Deflating a DoD UFO Video - bellingcat

A closer look at July 2022 footage of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon suggests a more banal explanation. It may just be a balloon.

Detrimental effects of COVID-19 in the brain and therapeutic options for long COVID: The role of Epstein–Barr virus and the gut–brain axis - Molecular Psychiatry

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has resulted in a serious public health burden worldwide. In addition to respiratory, heart, and gastrointestinal symptoms, patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience a number of persistent neurological and psychiatric symptoms, known as long COVID or ā€œbrain fogā€. Studies of autopsy samples from patients who died from COVID-19 detected SARS-CoV-2 in the brain. Furthermore, increasing evidence shows that Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation after SARS-CoV-2 infection might play a role in long COVID symptoms. Moreover, alterations in the microbiome after SARS-CoV-2 infection might contribute to acute and long COVID symptoms. In this article, the author reviews the detrimental effects of COVID-19 on the brain, and the biological mechanisms (e.g., EBV reactivation, and changes in the gut, nasal, oral, or lung microbiomes) underlying long COVID. In addition, the author discusses potential therapeutic approaches based on the gut–brain axis, including plant-based diet, probiotics and prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and vagus nerve stimulation, and sigma-1 receptor agonist fluvoxamine.

There are many more important things going on in the šŸŒŽ but tonight I went down a rabbit hole ab a startup called Ephemeral which makes ā€œdisappearingā€ tattoo ink that is supposed to fade within 9-15 months, resulting in semi-perm tattoos.

Supposed to. But they aren’t. So there’s now a Reddit of ppl with what look like bad semi-faded prison tattoos that are 3y old and company reps in the replies trying to say their tech has ā€œimprovedā€ since roll-out in 2021. Tattoo-ees comparing it to Theranos🩸

Compounding things, the employees are also telling ppl not to go get them lasered off bc they don’t know how the supposedly ā€œbio-absorbableā€ ink would react.

And the other method for handling bad tats - coverup - they are also advising against…bc if their thing does continue to fade the cover-up will look shitty.

So ironically if the semi-perm thing fails for you, this is like a *totally* permanent tattoo. 😬

Judge says B.C. COVID deniers showed 'reckless indifference to the truth'

Judge says maritime pilots who objected to COVID policies acted politically to misuse B.C. Supreme Court process "to disseminate COVID-19 misinformation."
